Homes for Veterans

Standing with the Armed Forces. We are committed to ensuring veterans, service personnel, and their families are treated with fairness and respect. 

Helping you enjoy your retirement

At Rooftop Housing Group, we proudly support those who serve or have served in the British Armed Forces. As a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant and a recipient of the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Bronze Award, we are committed to ensuring veterans, service personnel, and their families are treated with fairness and respect.

Rooftop Housing Group is proud to have helped veterans by providing them with homes at St Helena Court, Norton.

Our pledge to the Armed Forces

We signed the Armed Forces Covenant.

We received Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Bronze Award as recognition of our support of defence personnel.

Key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant

  • We work with local authority partners and other agencies to provide accommodation for veterans who are homeless in line with Localism Act requirements and with identified housing needs and banding, including developing veteran supportive local housing lettings policy.
  • We ensure organisational understanding of possible support requirements and recognition by external partners, where additional benefits or services maybe granted to veterans.
  • We signpost serving and veteran personnel to specialist support services as appropriate and provide advice on money management and access to benefits when needed.   
  • We support the employment of veterans, reservists and military spouses/partners
  • We support employees who are members of the Reserve Forces and Military Cadet Adult Instructors, including flexibility during training or deployment where possible. 
  • We support colleagues to take volunteer leave for those who wish to support the cadet unit. 
  • We support raising awareness of Armed Forces Day by promoting internally and externally, and promoting Armed Forces events organised by partner agencies. 

Recognition from the Ministry of Defence

Rooftop has been awarded the Bronze Award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS). This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to being an Amed Forces-friendly employer and housing provider. 

Housing support for veterans and service families

Leaving the Armed Forces can come with challenges and securing a stable home shouldn’t be one of them. We are committed to:

  • Offering fair and equal access to housing for veterans and their families.
  • Recognising the needs of Armed Forces families when considering housing needs.
  • Working closely with other agencies to signpost support and advice.

What Rooftop means to me

"I'm very happy with the contractors that do my repairs. They have always been so polite, and they get the job done. I’ve found they come out quickly too."
